Well, all the free CIs like Travis and Appveyor do it this way. You don't have to *use* it just because the .yml files are in the source tree. But you have to have the .yml files in the source tree in order to use these CIs. It'd be nice to be able to point somewhere else for them, but whatever, that's not something we get much choice in at this time.
That's not true, at least for Appveyor (can't speak about travis - I have no first hand experience). For appveyor, you can supply a custom appveyor.yml file, which can be a complete URL. In fact, if you use a plain git source as opposed to one of the managed git services it supports, you have to do it that way - it ignores an appveyor.yml in your repo. I found this out the very hard way over the last few days, and they very kindly don't warn you at all about this.
